I knew you would appreciate it Tim. It is good to set bevels or to sharpen and ain't bad for finishing if I use a light touch.

Nice stone. But also NAB to keep it nice

HOLY CRAP!!! THAT IS SOME INTERESTING HONE YOU GOT THERE SON!!!... so how does it shave whats the finish like? Haven't been this excited over a hone in some time.

To be honest so far I do not have specific means for determining the quality of the edge it gives for example a camera with decent lense/microscope. Comfortability of the shave is also not much relevant with my whiskers as I find that often heavy blades with no HHT ability give me better shave than those with. Also I concentrate more on other hones at present but you gave me some motivation to possibly try it over the weekend. I will keep you posted.
I bought this one more like mistake as original colour of it was different. You know grime black.

Some stones from Acapin strata can be red(ish), like this one:

As promissed info on my hone. By comparison it is somewhere between 6-8000. Shave was quite agresive. Feedback while honing was on german Bismarck (original) ok but with Sheffield (Gilbert bros) it was nearly non existent.
